How the Recent Updates to Verra’s VM0047 Methodology Improves Project Quality
The Integrity Council’s approval of Verra’s VM0047 methodology represents a major step forward for high-quality nature-based carbon projects. At EP Carbon, we’re encouraged by how VM0047 enhances transparency and scientific rigor through the use of dynamic performance benchmarks—leveraging remote sensing data to create more accurate and adaptive baselines for reforestation and revegetation. The upcoming version 1.1 expands opportunities for projects on degraded forest land and integrates with wetland restoration methodologies, improving both credibility and impact. These advancements align with EP Carbon’s commitment to developing robust, high-integrity carbon projects that deliver lasting climate benefits.
